[QUOTE="UilamOsa, post: 539461, member: 52898"] I disagree with the ban, and the stats haven't been fully explained*. Whilst I'm happy that their pushing for stronger protection of the head injuries, i think they're going the wrong way about it. I'm not one of those believe that Shoulder Charges make the game of league. (it's not allowed in club level) BUT a stronger deterrent should've been making any head contact 2 game ban, then add everything else on top. (intent, prev history, current points etc) Some of the better shoulder charges were not head shots but chest shots. This doesn't do my argument any justice, but it helps soften the stats provided in that particular report.
